I have only had my dog for about one week. But I love him already. I loved him the second I held him. How can you not love a beautiful, gentle creature without a home? He is just so precious to me. And he is totally different from […]
I am not too sure why we have to, as a society, remind people that everyone is layered. We are not just one thing or the other. In my past life as a facilitator (trainer), I would often ask the session participants to think of five […]

She had walked for miles on end. Her feet were bloodied and broken. But it wasn’t the harsh, dry land that had ripped her apart. She had done this to herself. She didn’t know any other way to be. She had always had a scab or […]
Admittedly, I have been obsessed with my house move. Everything about my move into my new (but really old) Los Angeles house has been fodder for venting, reflecting, and rejoicing. It’s been trying times. It’s been fun times. It’s been tiring times. We are several weeks […]
